Music system demo: Cotton Fields

Gary from Rising Star Karaoke Chatswood RSL Sydney Australia kindly assisted in making this video, assisted by our friend Lally, and filmed by Margaret Penhall-Jones. The backing track can be found on www.radio-tom.com . Here it was played through Gary’s PA system together with my direct-injected guitar.  Although Gary & Lali are accomplished singers it was unrehearsed. Gary & Lally had never seen the full lyrics or rehearsed a harmony. I just handed them a lyric sheet and I played by ear. My own voice is part of the backing track. All this was intentional to give an idea of what the music system will generally sound like with beginners.  We’re beginners here in the sense of unrehearsed first take.  This is likely to be typical of the sort of video that an online ‘make a music-video contest’ entrant team would produce.

This particular song uses the 1-finger chords from my music system. Free materials and tutorials available at www.oz-rock.com.
